American Carnage, album arose from the 4 hands collaboration between MoreBlackThenGod aka Sean Derrick Cooper Marquardt and Globoscuro aka Emiliano Pietrini, is a gibbering madness of concrete noises, gloomy soundscapes and teeming voices which grow in strength and intensity while snaking among the labyrinthic layers of an allegoric panorama. The sweeping drones and atmospheres are there in the background from the start but silently and slowly build up until the song blends the macabre choir with the layers of drones and sporadic rhythms. Minimalistic drops are interspersed with brazen clangs, a tortured piano and thin synth strings that waft through an atmosphere filled with super-deep guitar pulses and square sine particles that becomes more arsenic later on when a quavering metallic haze is infused with metal-like waves whose sustain vanishes in the empty distance. At some parts the album is so intense it builds up a presence of its own, a hauntingly and strange cacophony that saps the logic from the listener piece by piece. It is in itself an eerily example of how something as allegedly "ordinary" as different layers of sound can affect the corporeal being and turning it into the very meaning of an universal feeling, in pure dissenting poetry.
